Josh Williams was performing the Bluegrass song &#8220;Mordecai&#8221; when a little bird decided to land on his guitar! It&#8217;s not clear if the bird actually sang along, it might be he just wanted to get closer so he could hear better, or maybe he had a backstage pass and got ahead of himself!  At any rate, Williams kept his cool and continued the song to the end, except he couldn&#8217;t play his guitar! Check the excitement around 1:45 in the video!

You&#8217;ve probably already seen this video, but if not, this is a Russian crow that has figured out how to &#8220;snowboard&#8221; down a snowy roof using some kind of miniature inner-tube-looking thing!
According to an article in Scientific American, &#8220;it’s further evidence that corvids (along with some species of parrots and other social birds) appear to engage in play-like behaviors.&#8221;
C&#8217;mon, guys, this bird is not just &#8220;playing,&#8221; he&#8217;s shredding that slope like a pro!  Enjoy the video!

Example #4,215 of &#8220;things you should be careful doing or saying around babies.&#8221;
I have this funny feeling Mommy and Daddy haven&#8217;t heard the last of this from their little mimics, especially with Mommy laughing at them&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[So, a &#8220;brothel owner&#8221; (euphemism) in Nevada is going to open a science fiction-themed &#8220;alien cathouse&#8221; to prey on the nerd market.  I guess this means that there are enough nerds out there with enough money to justify the effort, and that being a (desperate) science-fiction fan is at least as socially acceptable to the &#8220;market&#8221; as businessmen are.  Personally, I&#8217;ve never really thought about re-creating Captain Kirk&#8217;s exploits with a bored hooker in green make-up and deelyboppers, but I have no doubt that this will be a very popular &#8220;attraction&#8221; to a certain segment of the nerd population.
Now, if this guy is half the businessman I suspect, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if he decides to sponsor a science fiction convention in Las Vegas or somewhere convenient&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[I stumbled across these guys when I saw this really neat video on Youtube.  &#8220;The Piano Guys&#8221; are a couple of musicians that re-do popular music with piano and cello and other instruments.  They use them to re-interpret the music as well, as in the &#8220;Cello Wars&#8221; video, which also has fun with the cello artist playing both the &#8220;good&#8221; Jedi and the &#8220;evil&#8221; Sith on dueling cellos.  Look for the appearance of &#8220;Darth Vader&#8221;&#8230;

One of the other videos I saw had the two guys entertaining a group of older folks at a retirement community, playing the &#8220;Linus and Lucy&#8221; theme from the &#8220;Peanuts&#8221; TV specials.  The guys have a lot of fun getting into the music, and the residents get into it, too.  It&#8217;s sweet to see the smiles on their faces, and watch them get up and dance!  It&#8217;s even better when you see the congo line, including ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pictures from the third and last day of AnimeUSA 2011.  Kind of a shame, there has been an anime convention in Crystal City since at least 1997, and this will be the last one for the foreseeable future. I went to my first one, Katsucon 4 I think it was, in 1998, and had only missed a couple there after that.  Ah, well, the price of growth, they just got too big to be handled in the Hyatt.  I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;ll have as much problem next year, since it looked like this year&#8217;s attendance was down.  Not as much disposable income lately&#8230;
